I have a buddy who gave me some of his hand loaded 7.62x54r with .312 cal bullets (Hornady i think)
He shoots it out of his 91/30 and said it would be fine in mine (1942 Russian, nothing special). I've never slugged the bore (or any for that matter) and I've read that the Russian bores can range from .310 upward. I just want to check, is it safe to shoot the .312 cal bullets if I dont know the diameter of my bore?
From what i read it's likely that my 91/30 is .310 or more, If mine is .310 would it be ok shooting .312 out of it? Does that small difference matter?
Thanks
